Abstract

In a control apparatus (9) for an internal combustion engine (1), when a fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting unit (26) is not smaller than a threshold P_a, the value opening time duration of a injector (5) is increased to a value larger than its normal value, such control as to stop fuel injection from the injector is inhibited, the low pressure fuel pump (24) is stopped, thus quickly lowering the fuel pressure. After the fuel pressure is lowered, the valve opening time duration of the injector is returned to the normal value, and a discharge quantity of the low pressure fuel pump (24) is changed on the basis of a difference between the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting unit (26) and a target fuel pressure.

Description

本発明は、高圧の燃料を供給する高圧燃料ポンプと燃料噴射弁を備えた内燃機関に係り、高圧燃料配管の燃料圧力を確実に低下させることができる内燃機関の制御装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine including a high-pressure fuel pump that supplies high-pressure fuel and a fuel injection valve, and more particularly to a control device for an internal combustion engine that can reliably reduce the fuel pressure in a high-pressure fuel pipe.

高圧の燃料を筒内に直接噴射する筒内噴射内燃機関が知られている。車両の燃料タンクに備え付けられた低圧燃料ポンプにより、燃料を内燃機関に圧送する。内燃機関には高圧燃料ポンプが取り付けられており、内燃機関を駆動力として、圧送されてきた燃料を更に高圧に昇圧し、燃料噴射弁が取り付けられている高圧燃料配管へ圧送する。   An in-cylinder injection internal combustion engine that directly injects high-pressure fuel into a cylinder is known. The fuel is pumped to the internal combustion engine by a low-pressure fuel pump provided in the fuel tank of the vehicle. A high-pressure fuel pump is attached to the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is used as a driving force to boost the pressure-fed fuel to a higher pressure and pump it to a high-pressure fuel pipe to which a fuel injection valve is attached.

近年、高圧燃料ポンプの吐出効率向上と低フリクション化，小型，軽量化の要求がある。この要求を満たすために燃料の吸入量を調整することで吐出量を調整する高圧燃料ポンプが開発されている。このタイプの高圧燃料ポンプでは、吸入弁の駆動を行うソレノイドに対して、内燃機関の制御装置から駆動電流を通電することにより吸入量の調整を行う。   In recent years, there has been a demand for higher discharge efficiency, lower friction, smaller size, and lighter weight for high-pressure fuel pumps. In order to satisfy this requirement, a high-pressure fuel pump that adjusts the discharge amount by adjusting the intake amount of fuel has been developed. In this type of high-pressure fuel pump, the intake amount is adjusted by supplying a drive current to the solenoid that drives the intake valve from the control device of the internal combustion engine.

このような高圧燃料ポンプでは、吸入弁に駆動電流を供給するハーネスが断線した場合、吸入弁の制御が不可能となり、内燃機関により回転駆動される高圧燃料ポンプが高圧燃料配管へ過剰圧送してしまう事態が想定される。しかし、高圧燃料ポンプまたは高圧燃料配管には安全弁が備え付けられているため、安全弁が正常な状態であれば、安全弁の開弁圧以上に燃料圧力が上昇することはない。   In such a high-pressure fuel pump, when the harness that supplies the drive current to the intake valve is disconnected, the intake valve cannot be controlled, and the high-pressure fuel pump that is rotationally driven by the internal combustion engine sends excessive pressure to the high-pressure fuel pipe. It is assumed that the situation will end. However, since the high-pressure fuel pump or the high-pressure fuel pipe is equipped with a safety valve, the fuel pressure does not increase above the opening pressure of the safety valve if the safety valve is in a normal state.

上記の安全弁のように、高圧燃料ポンプを備えたシステムにおいては、何らかの異常が生じた場合には速やかに燃料圧力の上昇を抑制し、安全性を確保する必要がある。   As in the case of the safety valve described above, in a system equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump, if any abnormality occurs, it is necessary to quickly suppress an increase in fuel pressure and ensure safety.

一方、コモンレール内の燃料圧力が、ポンプ使用許容域に対応した第１判定値、あるいは第１判定値よりも高く、燃料供給ポンプの性能劣化に影響を与える第２判定値を超える異常高圧状態が所定時間継続した際に、燃料供給ポンプの異常故障を検出する。そして、燃料供給ポンプの異常故障が検出された時点から所定時間経過後にエンジンの運転を停止するものが知られている。（例えば、特許文献１参照。）   On the other hand, there is an abnormally high pressure state in which the fuel pressure in the common rail is higher than the first determination value corresponding to the allowable use range of the pump or the first determination value and exceeds the second determination value that affects the performance deterioration of the fuel supply pump. When it continues for a predetermined time, an abnormal failure of the fuel supply pump is detected. And what stops engine operation after a predetermined time has passed since an abnormal failure of the fuel supply pump is detected is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)

また、高圧燃料ポンプ下流側の高圧燃料配管の内部の圧力を燃圧センサで検出し、その燃圧が所定圧力異常の異常な圧力となった場合には、低圧燃料ポンプであるフィ−ドポンプを停止させるようにしたので、高圧燃料配管の内部の圧力を確実に低下させることができるものが知られている。（例えば、特許文献２参照。）   Further, the pressure inside the high-pressure fuel pipe on the downstream side of the high-pressure fuel pump is detected by a fuel pressure sensor, and when the fuel pressure becomes an abnormal pressure of a predetermined pressure abnormality, the feed pump that is a low-pressure fuel pump is stopped. Since it did it, what can reduce the pressure inside a high pressure fuel piping reliably is known. (For example, see Patent Document 2.)

特許第３９７２８２３号公報Japanese Patent No. 3972823 特許第３２３７５６７号公報Japanese Patent No. 3237567

しかしながら、安全弁が何らかの理由により、その機能が低下し、開弁圧以上の状態でも燃料を放出することができない状態が想定される（安全弁の固着故障）。さらにこの状態において、高圧燃料ポンプの吸入弁を駆動するハーネスの断線等により吸入弁の制御が不可能となった場合、安全弁が機能していないため、燃料圧力が異常高圧となる事態が想定される。   However, the function of the safety valve is lowered for some reason, and it is assumed that the fuel cannot be released even when the valve is at a valve opening pressure or higher (safety valve sticking failure). Furthermore, in this state, if the intake valve cannot be controlled due to disconnection of the harness that drives the intake valve of the high-pressure fuel pump, the safety valve is not functioning, so a situation where the fuel pressure becomes abnormally high is assumed. The

このような事態に対して、特許文献１に記載の内容では内燃機関を停止することで異常高圧状態が継続するのを防止しているが、走行不能となるため、使用者の立場では車両を安全な場所に退避させることができない。あるいはディーラーまで自走して修理を行うことができず、利便性が損なわれる可能性がある。   For such a situation, the contents described in Patent Document 1 prevent the abnormally high pressure state from continuing by stopping the internal combustion engine. It cannot be evacuated to a safe place. Alternatively, the dealer cannot self-propell and repair, and convenience may be impaired.

また特許文献２に記載の内容では、低圧燃料ポンプ停止後も、低圧燃料ポンプから高圧燃料ポンプに接続されている燃料配管内に燃料が残存しているため、内燃機関により強制的に回転駆動されている高圧燃料ポンプが高圧燃料配管への吐出を続け、異常高圧を回避できない場合がある。   Further, in the contents described in Patent Document 2, since the fuel remains in the fuel pipe connected from the low pressure fuel pump to the high pressure fuel pump even after the low pressure fuel pump is stopped, it is forcibly driven to rotate by the internal combustion engine. The high-pressure fuel pump that continues to discharge into the high-pressure fuel piping may not avoid abnormally high pressure.

本発明の目的は、安全弁が機能しない状態において、高圧燃料ポンプの吐出量制御が不可能となった場合においても、異常高圧を回避できる内燃機関の制御装置を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for an internal combustion engine that can avoid abnormally high pressure even when the discharge amount control of a high-pressure fuel pump becomes impossible in a state where a safety valve does not function.

上記のような課題を解決するため本発明においては、内燃機関に高圧の燃料を供給する高圧燃料ポンプと、前記高圧燃料ポンプへ燃料を供給する低圧燃料ポンプと、前記内燃機関の気筒内に燃料を直接噴射する一つ以上の燃料噴射弁と、前記高圧燃料ポンプと前記燃料噴射弁とを駆動する燃料噴射制御装置と、前記高圧燃料ポンプと燃料噴射弁とを接続する高圧燃料配管と、前記高圧配管に備えられる燃料圧力検出手段をと備え、前記燃料噴射制御装置が正常に作動する範囲内で、内燃機関に取り付けられている燃料噴射弁の最大噴射量の合計が高圧燃料ポンプの最大吐出量を上回るように設計された内燃機関の制御装置において、前記燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力がある閾値Ｐ＿ａ以上の場合、前記高圧燃料ポンプが吐出する単位時間当たりの燃料吐出量よりも前記燃料噴射弁が噴射する単位時間当たりの噴射量の合計が大きくなるように前記開弁期間を制御することを特徴とする内燃機関の制御装置を提供する。   In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, a high-pressure fuel pump that supplies high-pressure fuel to an internal combustion engine, a low-pressure fuel pump that supplies fuel to the high-pressure fuel pump, and fuel in a cylinder of the internal combustion engine One or more fuel injection valves that directly inject fuel, a fuel injection control device that drives the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injection valve, a high-pressure fuel pipe that connects the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injection valve, The fuel pressure detection means provided in the high-pressure pipe is provided, and the maximum injection amount of the fuel injection valve attached to the internal combustion engine is the maximum discharge of the high-pressure fuel pump within the range in which the fuel injection control device operates normally. In the control apparatus for an internal combustion engine designed to exceed the amount, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting means is greater than or equal to a threshold value P_a, the high pressure fuel pump discharges Than the fuel discharge amount per unit time to provide a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine and controls the valve opening period so that the total increase of the injection quantity per unit of fuel injection valve for injecting time.

本発明によれば安全弁がない又は安全弁が機能しない状態（固着故障）と、高圧燃料ポンプの燃料吸入量を調整する吸入弁が故障し、吐出量が制御不能となった状態とが同時に生じる二重故障のような場合においても、異常高圧を回避しつつ、内燃機関の運転を継続することができる。   According to the present invention, a state in which there is no safety valve or the safety valve does not function (sticking failure) and a state in which the suction valve that adjusts the fuel suction amount of the high-pressure fuel pump fails and the discharge amount becomes uncontrollable occur simultaneously. Even in the case of a serious failure, the operation of the internal combustion engine can be continued while avoiding abnormal high pressure.

本発明を実施するための最良の形態としては、内燃機関に高圧の燃料を供給する高圧燃料ポンプと、高圧燃料ポンプへ燃料を供給する低圧燃料ポンプと、内燃機関の気筒内に燃料を直接噴射する一つ以上の燃料噴射弁と、高圧燃料ポンプと燃料噴射弁とを駆動する燃料噴射制御装置と、高圧燃料ポンプと燃料噴射弁とを接続する高圧燃料配管と、高圧配管に備えられる燃料圧力検出手段とを備え、燃料噴射制御装置が正常に作動する範囲内で、内燃機関に取り付けられている燃料噴射弁の最大噴射量の合計が高圧燃料ポンプの最大吐出量を上回るように設計された内燃機関の制御装置において、燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力がある閾値Ｐ＿ａ以上の場合、高圧燃料ポンプが吐出する単位時間当たりの燃料吐出量よりも前記燃料噴射弁が噴射する単位時間当たりの噴射量の合計が大きくなるように前記開弁期間を制御することを特徴とする内燃機関の制御装置がある。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention includes a high-pressure fuel pump that supplies high-pressure fuel to the internal combustion engine, a low-pressure fuel pump that supplies fuel to the high-pressure fuel pump, and direct injection of fuel into the cylinders of the internal combustion engine. One or more fuel injection valves, a fuel injection control device that drives the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injection valve, a high-pressure fuel pipe that connects the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injection valve, and a fuel pressure that is provided in the high-pressure pipe The maximum injection amount of the fuel injection valve attached to the internal combustion engine is designed to exceed the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump within a range in which the fuel injection control device operates normally. In the control device for an internal combustion engine, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting means is greater than or equal to a threshold value P_a, the fuel is more than the fuel discharge amount per unit time discharged by the high pressure fuel pump. Event there is a control device for an internal combustion engine, characterized in that to control the valve opening period so that the total increase of the injection amount per unit of injection time.

このような構成とすることにより、安全弁がない又は安全弁が機能しない状態（固着故障）と、高圧燃料ポンプの燃料吸入量を調整する吸入弁が故障し、吐出量が制御不能となった状態とが同時に生じる二重故障のような場合においても、異常高圧を回避しつつ、内燃機関の運転を継続することができる。   With this configuration, there is no safety valve or the safety valve does not function (sticking failure), the intake valve that adjusts the fuel intake amount of the high-pressure fuel pump fails, and the discharge amount becomes uncontrollable. Even in the case of double failures that occur simultaneously, the operation of the internal combustion engine can be continued while avoiding abnormal high pressure.

また、燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力がある閾値Ｐ＿ａ以上の場合、燃料噴射弁からの燃料噴射の停止を禁止することで、高圧燃料配管内に蓄積された燃料を確実に燃料噴射弁から排出することができる。その結果、高圧燃料配管内の圧力を迅速に低下させることができる。   Further, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting means is greater than or equal to a threshold value P_a, the fuel injection from the fuel injection valve is prohibited to stop the fuel accumulated in the high-pressure fuel pipe. Can be discharged from. As a result, the pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe can be quickly reduced.

また、低圧燃料ポンプを停止することより、高圧燃料ポンプに供給される燃料を絶つことができ、高圧配管内に吐出される燃料を低減することができる。その結果、高圧燃料配管内の圧力を迅速に低下させることができる。   Further, by stopping the low pressure fuel pump, the fuel supplied to the high pressure fuel pump can be cut off, and the fuel discharged into the high pressure pipe can be reduced. As a result, the pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe can be quickly reduced.

また、燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力が閾値Ｐ＿ａ以下の所定の値以下となった場合、低圧燃料ポンプを停止する。低圧燃料ポンプを停止するに当たり、迅速に高圧配管内の圧力を下げる目的では、高圧配管内の圧力が閾値Ｐ＿ａを超えたときに低圧燃料ポンプを停止することが良い。しかし、低圧燃料ポンプと高圧燃料ポンプとをつなぐ配管が設計上低圧燃料ポンプを停止した際の負圧に耐えられないような場合には、その影響を最小限にするために高圧配管内の圧力が所定値になるまで待ってから低圧燃料ポンプを停止することが良い。   In addition, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detection means becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value less than or equal to the threshold value P_a, the low-pressure fuel pump is stopped. In order to quickly reduce the pressure in the high-pressure pipe when stopping the low-pressure fuel pump, it is preferable to stop the low-pressure fuel pump when the pressure in the high-pressure pipe exceeds the threshold value P_a. However, if the piping connecting the low-pressure fuel pump and the high-pressure fuel pump cannot withstand the negative pressure when the low-pressure fuel pump is stopped by design, the pressure in the high-pressure piping is minimized to minimize the effect. It is good to stop the low-pressure fuel pump after waiting until the value reaches a predetermined value.

また、燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力が閾値Ｐ＿ａ以下のある閾値Ｐ＿ｂ未満となった場合、燃料噴射弁の開弁期間を通常の値に戻す。燃圧がＰ＿ｂまで下がれば燃料噴射弁を正常時の開弁期間としても高圧配管の損傷を防ぐことができるからである。また、燃料噴射弁を正常時の開弁期間で内燃機関を運転することにより、待避走行を可能としたり、レッカー車などによらず自走でディーラー等の修理工場に辿り着くことができる。低圧燃料ポンプを停止した後、所定時間経過後に、前記燃料噴射弁の開弁期間を通常の値に戻すこととしても良い。   Further, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detecting means becomes less than a certain threshold value P_b which is equal to or less than the threshold value P_a, the valve opening period of the fuel injection valve is returned to a normal value. This is because if the fuel pressure is reduced to P_b, damage to the high-pressure piping can be prevented even when the fuel injection valve is opened normally. In addition, by operating the internal combustion engine during a normal valve opening period of the fuel injection valve, it is possible to make a retreat travel, or to reach a repair factory such as a dealer by itself without relying on a tow truck. After the low-pressure fuel pump is stopped, the opening period of the fuel injection valve may be returned to a normal value after a lapse of a predetermined time.

また、燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力が閾値Ｐ＿ａ以下のある閾値Ｐ＿ｃ未満となった場合、前記燃料圧力検出手段により検出される燃料圧力と目標燃料圧力の差に基づき、前記低圧燃料ポンプの運転，停止を切り替えることにより、タンクからの高圧配管への燃料供給を継続的に行うことができ、前述の待避走行距離を伸ばすことができる。   Further, when the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detection means becomes less than a threshold value P_c which is equal to or less than the threshold value P_a, the low pressure fuel pump is based on the difference between the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure detection means and the target fuel pressure. By switching between the operation and the stop, fuel supply from the tank to the high-pressure pipe can be continuously performed, and the above-described evacuation travel distance can be extended.

また、安全弁が備えられている場合には、閾値Ｐ＿ａを安全弁の開弁圧力から所定値以上とすることで、正常時の安全弁の能力を生かしつつ、異常時には迅速に高圧配管内の燃圧を下げることができる。   When a safety valve is provided, the threshold P_a is set to a predetermined value or more from the valve opening pressure of the safety valve so that the fuel pressure in the high-pressure pipe can be quickly reduced in the event of an abnormality while taking advantage of the capability of the safety valve during normal operation. be able to.

また、安全弁の故障を検出しているとき、低圧燃料ポンプの吐出量を通常より低下させることにより、高圧配管内の燃圧が異常高圧となるリスクを低減させる。   In addition, when a failure of the safety valve is detected, the risk that the fuel pressure in the high-pressure pipe becomes abnormally high is reduced by reducing the discharge amount of the low-pressure fuel pump from the normal amount.

また、安全弁の故障を検出しているとき、前記記閾値Ｐ＿ａを前記安全弁の開弁圧以下に変更することで、高圧配管内の燃圧が異常高圧となるリスクをより低減させる。   In addition, when the failure of the safety valve is detected, the risk P_a is changed to be equal to or lower than the valve opening pressure of the safety valve, thereby further reducing the risk that the fuel pressure in the high pressure pipe becomes abnormally high.

以下、図１〜図１０を用いて、本発明の実施形態による内燃機関の制御装置の構成及び動作についてさらに具体的に説明する。   Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the control device for an internal combustion engine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS.

最初に、図１を用いて、本実施形態による制御装置を搭載する内燃機関システムの構成について説明する。   First, the configuration of the internal combustion engine system equipped with the control device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

エンジン１には、ピストン２，吸気弁３，排気弁４が備えられる。吸入空気は、空気流量計（ＡＦＭ）２０を通過してスロットル弁１９に入り、分岐部であるコレクタ１５より吸気管１０，吸気弁３を介してエンジン１の燃焼室２１に供給される。燃料は、燃料タンク２３から低圧燃料ポンプ２４によって内燃機関へと供給され、さらに高圧燃料ポンプ２５によって燃料噴射に必要な圧力に高められる。高圧燃料ポンプ２５によって昇圧された燃料は、燃料噴射弁５から、エンジン１の燃焼室２１に噴射供給され、点火コイル７，点火プラグ６によって点火される。燃料の圧力は、燃料圧力センサ２６によって計測される。   The engine 1 is provided with a piston 2, an intake valve 3, and an exhaust valve 4. The intake air passes through the air flow meter (AFM) 20 and enters the throttle valve 19, and is supplied to the combustion chamber 21 of the engine 1 through the intake pipe 10 and the intake valve 3 from the collector 15 which is a branching portion. The fuel is supplied from the fuel tank 23 to the internal combustion engine by the low-pressure fuel pump 24, and further increased to a pressure required for fuel injection by the high-pressure fuel pump 25. The fuel boosted by the high-pressure fuel pump 25 is injected and supplied from the fuel injection valve 5 to the combustion chamber 21 of the engine 1 and ignited by the ignition coil 7 and the spark plug 6. The fuel pressure is measured by the fuel pressure sensor 26.

燃焼後の排気ガスは、排気弁４を介して排気管１１に排出される。排気管１１には、排気ガス浄化のための三元触媒１２が備えられている。ＥＣＵ（エンジンコントロールユニット）９には、燃料噴射制御装置２７が内蔵され、エンジン１のクランク角度センサ１６の信号，ＡＦＭ２０の空気量信号，排気ガス中の酸素濃度を検出する酸素センサ１３の信号，アクセル開度センサ２２のアクセル開度，燃料圧力センサ２６等の信号が入力される。ＥＣＵ９には、クランク角度センサ１６の信号からエンジン回転数を演算する回転数検出手段と、水温センサ８から得られる内燃機関の水温とエンジン始動後の経過時間等から三元触媒１２が暖機されて状態であるかを判断する暖気判定手段が備えられている。   The exhaust gas after combustion is discharged to the exhaust pipe 11 via the exhaust valve 4. The exhaust pipe 11 is provided with a three-way catalyst 12 for purifying exhaust gas. A fuel injection control device 27 is built in the ECU (engine control unit) 9, and a signal from the crank angle sensor 16 of the engine 1, an air amount signal from the AFM 20, a signal from the oxygen sensor 13 that detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, Signals from the accelerator opening sensor 22 and the fuel pressure sensor 26 are input. In the ECU 9, the three-way catalyst 12 is warmed up based on the rotation speed detection means for calculating the engine rotation speed from the signal of the crank angle sensor 16, the water temperature of the internal combustion engine obtained from the water temperature sensor 8, the elapsed time after the engine start, and the like. There is provided warm-up determining means for determining whether or not the vehicle is in a state.

また、ＥＣＵ９は、エンジン１に必要な吸入空気量を算出し、それに見合った開度信号をスロットル弁１９に出力する。また、ＥＣＵ９は、燃料噴射制御装置２７は吸入空気量に応じた燃料量を算出して、燃料噴射弁５に燃料噴射信号を出力し、点火プラグ６に点火信号を出力する。   Further, the ECU 9 calculates an intake air amount necessary for the engine 1 and outputs an opening signal corresponding to the intake air amount to the throttle valve 19. Further, the ECU 9 calculates the amount of fuel corresponding to the intake air amount, outputs the fuel injection signal to the fuel injection valve 5, and outputs the ignition signal to the spark plug 6.

排気管１１とコレクタ１５との間は、ＥＧＲ通路１８により接続されている。ＥＧＲ通路１８の途中には、ＥＧＲ弁１４が備えられている。ＥＧＲ弁１４の開度は、ＥＣＵ９によって制御され、必要に応じて、排気管１１の中の排気ガスが、吸気管１０に還流される。   The exhaust pipe 11 and the collector 15 are connected by an EGR passage 18. An EGR valve 14 is provided in the middle of the EGR passage 18. The opening degree of the EGR valve 14 is controlled by the ECU 9, and the exhaust gas in the exhaust pipe 11 is recirculated to the intake pipe 10 as necessary.

図２に燃料タンクから燃料噴射弁までの燃料配管，ポンプを中心とする燃料系システムの模式図を示す。低圧燃料ポンプ２４によって圧送された燃料はダンパ３４によってその圧力脈動が減衰される。スプリング３７によりプランジャー３６は下降し、吸入弁３１側の燃料通路から低圧の燃料を吸入する。内燃機関により駆動されるポンプ駆動カム３５によりプランジャー３６が上昇し、燃料を加圧する。燃料の圧力が上昇し、高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力と吐出弁３３の開弁圧を上回ると、吐出弁が開弁し、高圧燃料配管２９へ燃料が圧送される。   FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a fuel system including a fuel pipe and a pump from a fuel tank to a fuel injection valve. The pressure pulsation of the fuel pumped by the low-pressure fuel pump 24 is attenuated by the damper 34. The plunger 36 is lowered by the spring 37 and sucks low-pressure fuel from the fuel passage on the suction valve 31 side. The plunger 36 is raised by the pump drive cam 35 driven by the internal combustion engine, and pressurizes the fuel. When the fuel pressure rises and exceeds the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 and the valve opening pressure of the discharge valve 33, the discharge valve opens and the fuel is pumped to the high-pressure fuel pipe 29.

内燃機関の制御装置は、演算される目標燃圧に対して、燃料圧力センサ２６によってセンシングされる高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力が追従するように、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の燃料吐出量を調節する。吐出量の調整は、吸入弁３１の開閉タイミング、つまり吸入弁のソレノイド制御ハーネス３８へ通電を行うタイミングを燃料噴射制御装置２７を内蔵した制御装置９により制御することにより行われる。   The control device of the internal combustion engine adjusts the fuel discharge amount of the high pressure fuel pump 25 so that the fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel pipe 29 sensed by the fuel pressure sensor 26 follows the calculated target fuel pressure. The adjustment of the discharge amount is performed by controlling the opening / closing timing of the intake valve 31, that is, the timing of energizing the solenoid control harness 38 of the intake valve by the control device 9 including the fuel injection control device 27.

高圧燃料ポンプ２５には安全弁３０が内蔵されており、所定圧力以上で開弁する。その際には燃料が低圧燃料配管２８へ戻ることとなり、高圧燃料配管２９が異常高圧状態に陥るのを防止する。なお、安全弁３０が高圧燃料配管２９に備え付けられている場合も同様の機能を果たす。   The high-pressure fuel pump 25 has a built-in safety valve 30 that opens at a predetermined pressure or higher. At that time, the fuel returns to the low pressure fuel pipe 28, and the high pressure fuel pipe 29 is prevented from falling into an abnormally high pressure state. The same function is achieved when the safety valve 30 is provided in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29.

次に燃料系システム、特に高圧燃料ポンプ２５，安全弁３０の機能が損なわれた場合の燃料圧力の挙動について図３を用いて説明する。燃料系システムの機能が正常な時刻０からＴ１において、高圧燃料配管２９の燃料圧力は目標燃圧（ｂ）に制御されている。時刻Ｔ１において吸入弁３１，吸入弁ソレノイド３２，ソレノイド制御ハーネス３８，吐出弁３３が何らかの原因により正常な機能が低下した場合、制御装置９は高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出量を制御することができなくなる。高圧燃料ポンプ２５が昇圧を行えなくなった場合、高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力は、ほぼ低圧燃料ポンプが圧送する圧力（ａ）に低下する。あるいは、高圧燃料ポンプが常時昇圧を続ける状態になった場合、安全弁が開弁し、高圧燃料配管２９内部の燃料圧力は開弁圧（ｃ）に保たれることになる。あるいは燃料圧力が（ａ）から（ｃ）の範囲内を（ｄ）に示すように不定となる。   Next, the behavior of the fuel pressure when the functions of the fuel system, particularly the high-pressure fuel pump 25 and the safety valve 30, are impaired will be described with reference to FIG. From time 0 to T1 when the function of the fuel system is normal, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 is controlled to the target fuel pressure (b). If the normal function of the intake valve 31, the intake valve solenoid 32, the solenoid control harness 38, and the discharge valve 33 deteriorates for some reason at time T1, the control device 9 cannot control the discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25. . When the high-pressure fuel pump 25 cannot perform pressure increase, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 is reduced to a pressure (a) that is almost pumped by the low-pressure fuel pump. Alternatively, when the high-pressure fuel pump is constantly in a pressure-raising state, the safety valve is opened, and the fuel pressure inside the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 is maintained at the valve-opening pressure (c). Alternatively, the fuel pressure becomes indefinite as shown in (d) within the range from (a) to (c).

続いて時刻Ｔ２において安全弁の機能が低下する、いわゆる二重故障の状態となった場合の燃料圧力挙動について説明する。安全弁の機能が低下すると高圧燃料ポンプ２５が圧送し続ける燃料を逃がす経路が失われる。既に高圧燃料ポンプが常時昇圧を続ける故障状態に陥り、燃料圧力が安全弁の開弁圧（ｃ）に張り付いている場合で、かつ高圧燃料ポンプが吐出する燃料量が、燃料噴射弁が噴射する燃料量を上回っている場合、高圧燃料配管２９の燃圧は異常高圧状態（ｅ）に陥る可能性がある。   Subsequently, the fuel pressure behavior in the case of a so-called double failure state in which the function of the safety valve is reduced at time T2 will be described. When the function of the safety valve is lowered, the path through which the high-pressure fuel pump 25 continues to pump the fuel is lost. The fuel injection valve injects the amount of fuel discharged from the high-pressure fuel pump when the high-pressure fuel pump is already in a failure state where the pressure is constantly increased and the fuel pressure is stuck to the valve opening pressure (c) of the safety valve. When the fuel amount is exceeded, the fuel pressure of the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 may fall into an abnormally high pressure state (e).

図４に別の二重故障時の燃料圧力の状態を示す。時刻Ｔ１において安全弁３０の機能が低下した場合、その他の燃料系システムの部品が正常であれば、通常時と同様に高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力は目標燃圧（ｂ）に制御される。   FIG. 4 shows the fuel pressure state during another double failure. When the function of the safety valve 30 is reduced at time T1, if the other fuel system components are normal, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 is controlled to the target fuel pressure (b) as in the normal state.

さらに時刻Ｔ２において、高圧燃料ポンプが常時昇圧を続ける状態になるような機能低下が起こった場合、安全弁３０の機能が低下しているため、高圧燃料ポンプ２５が圧送し続ける燃料を逃がす経路が失われている。この時、高圧燃料ポンプが吐出する燃料量が、燃料噴射弁が噴射する燃料量を上回っている場合、高圧燃料配管２８の燃圧は異常高圧状態（ｅ）に陥る可能性がある。   Furthermore, when a function deterioration occurs such that the high-pressure fuel pump is constantly in a pressure-raising state at time T2, the function of the safety valve 30 is deteriorated, so that the path through which the high-pressure fuel pump 25 continues to pump the fuel is lost. It has been broken. At this time, if the amount of fuel discharged from the high-pressure fuel pump exceeds the amount of fuel injected by the fuel injection valve, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 28 may fall into an abnormally high pressure state (e).

前述のように、燃料系システムにおいて単一の機能が損なわれた場合においては、異常高圧の状態に陥ることはない。しかしながら安全弁の故障と同時に発生する二重故障の状態となった場合、異常高圧の状態に陥る可能性があるため、対策を講じる必要がある。以下、本発明における二重故障時の対応方法について図５から図１０を用いて説明する。   As described above, when a single function is impaired in the fuel system, it does not fall into an abnormally high pressure state. However, if a double failure occurs simultaneously with the failure of the safety valve, it may fall into an abnormally high pressure state, so it is necessary to take measures. Hereinafter, a method for dealing with a double failure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

本発明が前提とする燃料系システムにおける、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の最大吐出量と、内燃機関に取り付けられている複数の燃料噴射弁５から噴射される最大噴射量の合計値を比較したグラフを図５に示す。ここで燃料噴射弁５の最大噴射量とは、燃料噴射制御装置２７や燃料噴射弁５が正常に動作する範囲内で、各々の部品の破損に至らない通電期間を燃料噴射弁５へ与えた場合である。なお、燃料噴射弁５からの噴射量がエンジン回転数に依存しないのは、燃料噴射制御装置２７が正常に動作する範囲の通電期間がエンジンのクランク角度で規定されるためである。   The graph which compared the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 with the maximum injection amount injected from the some fuel injection valve 5 attached to the internal combustion engine in the fuel system which this invention presupposes is a figure. As shown in FIG. Here, the maximum injection amount of the fuel injection valve 5 is a range in which the fuel injection control device 27 and the fuel injection valve 5 operate normally, and gives the fuel injection valve 5 an energization period that does not cause damage to each component. Is the case. The reason why the injection amount from the fuel injection valve 5 does not depend on the engine speed is that the energization period in which the fuel injection control device 27 operates normally is defined by the engine crank angle.

高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力が通常の圧力Ｐ＿ｎ以下の場合、図５（１）に示すようにエンジン回転数が高い領域では、高圧燃料ポンプの最大吐出量が燃料噴射弁５からの最大噴射量の合計値を上回っている。燃料圧力が増加すると、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出弁３３の開弁が遅れるため、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出効率（吐出量）は低下する。一方、燃料噴射弁の噴射量は、開弁時間が等しければ燃料圧力と内燃機関の筒内圧の差に依存するため、燃料圧力が増加すると、噴射量も増加する。従って通常より燃料圧力が通常の圧力Ｐ＿ｎより高い場合、（２）に示すように、エンジン回転数が高い領域でも高圧燃料ポンプ２５の最大吐出量と燃料噴射弁５からの最大噴射量が拮抗する。更に燃料圧力が増加した場合、例えば図３，図４に示す安全弁の圧力となった場合、（３）に示すようにエンジン回転数全域に渡って燃料噴射弁５からの最大噴射量が高圧燃料ポンプ２５の最大吐出量を上回ることになる。   When the fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel pipe 29 is equal to or lower than the normal pressure P_n, the maximum discharge amount of the high pressure fuel pump is the maximum injection from the fuel injection valve 5 in the region where the engine speed is high as shown in FIG. It exceeds the total amount. When the fuel pressure increases, the opening of the discharge valve 33 of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 is delayed, so that the discharge efficiency (discharge amount) of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 decreases. On the other hand, since the injection amount of the fuel injection valve depends on the difference between the fuel pressure and the in-cylinder pressure of the internal combustion engine if the valve opening time is equal, the injection amount increases as the fuel pressure increases. Therefore, when the fuel pressure is higher than the normal pressure P_n, the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 and the maximum injection amount from the fuel injection valve 5 antagonize even in a region where the engine speed is high, as shown in (2). . When the fuel pressure further increases, for example, when the pressure of the safety valve shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is reached, as shown in (3), the maximum injection amount from the fuel injection valve 5 over the entire engine speed is high pressure fuel. The maximum discharge amount of the pump 25 will be exceeded.

図６に、本発明の内燃機関の制御装置により異常昇圧を回避する制御を行った際の、二重故障時の燃料圧力の挙動と、燃料噴射弁５の燃料噴射期間，低圧燃料ポンプ２４の吐出量を示す。時刻Ｔ１において二重故障が発生すると、高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力は上昇する。このとき安全弁もその機能が低下しているため、燃料圧力は安全弁の開弁圧力（ｃ）を超えて上昇する。   FIG. 6 shows the behavior of the fuel pressure at the time of double failure, the fuel injection period of the fuel injection valve 5, the low-pressure fuel pump 24 when the control for avoiding abnormal pressure increase is performed by the control device for an internal combustion engine of the present invention. Indicates the discharge amount. When a double failure occurs at time T1, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 increases. At this time, since the function of the safety valve is also reduced, the fuel pressure rises above the valve opening pressure (c) of the safety valve.

図７，図８，図９に示すフローチャートを用いて本発明の制御装置における二重故障時の制御方法を示す。図６の時刻Ｔ２において燃料圧力センサ２６によりセンシングされる燃料圧力がある閾値Ｐ＿ａを超えたことを制御装置が認識したとき、Ｓ３０にて二重故障と判定する。二重故障と判定された後、Ｓ７５にてアクセルオフ等の時に行う燃料カット制御を禁止する。Ｓ７０にて燃料圧力が図６に示す閾値Ｐ＿ｂより大きいと判定されている間、Ｓ９０にて燃料噴射弁５へ通電する期間を通常より増大させる。なお燃料噴射弁５への通電期間は燃料噴射制御装置２７や燃料噴射弁５が正常に動作する範囲内とし、各々の部品の破損に至らない値とする。   A control method at the time of double failure in the control apparatus of the present invention will be described using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. When the control device recognizes that the fuel pressure sensed by the fuel pressure sensor 26 exceeds a certain threshold value P_a at time T2 in FIG. 6, it is determined as a double failure in S30. After it is determined that there is a double failure, the fuel cut control performed when the accelerator is off is prohibited in S75. While it is determined at S70 that the fuel pressure is greater than the threshold value P_b shown in FIG. 6, the period during which the fuel injection valve 5 is energized is increased from S90 at S90. The energization period of the fuel injection valve 5 is set within a range in which the fuel injection control device 27 and the fuel injection valve 5 operate normally and does not cause damage to each component.

なお、燃料圧力を基準に判定するＳ７０の代わりに、二重故障判定が成立した後、図８または図９のＳ２３０に示す、低圧燃料ポンプ停止からの時間がある値Ｔｆより大きいか否かで判定するＳ７１を使用することもできる。   It should be noted that, instead of S70 that is determined based on the fuel pressure, whether or not the time from the stop of the low-pressure fuel pump shown in S230 of FIG. 8 or FIG. The determination S71 can also be used.

図６の時刻Ｔ４においてＳ７０またはＳ７１によって、燃料噴射期間を通常の制御（Ｓ４０，５０，６０）に戻す。時刻Ｔ２からＴ４にかけて可燃性をよりも燃料噴射弁５から最大の燃料を噴射させることを優先してきたため、燃焼が成立せずに発生トルクが低下し、それに伴ってエンジン回転数が低下する。時刻Ｔ４において通常の噴射量制御に戻すことでトルクを発生させ、エンジンストールを防止することを目的としている。   At time T4 in FIG. 6, the fuel injection period is returned to the normal control (S40, 50, 60) by S70 or S71. From time T2 to T4, priority has been given to injecting the maximum amount of fuel from the fuel injection valve 5 rather than combustibility. Therefore, combustion is not established and the generated torque decreases, and the engine speed decreases accordingly. An object is to prevent engine stall by generating torque by returning to normal injection amount control at time T4.

燃料系システムが正常な状態では、図７のＳ１０，Ｓ４０にて空気流量計（ＡＦＭ）２０によって計測される吸入空気量に基づき、燃料噴射弁５へ通電する期間を演算する。さらにＳ２０，Ｓ５０，Ｓ６０にて燃料圧力等の補正を行い、適切な燃料量が噴射されるよう、通電する期間を補正する。以上により内燃機関の燃焼室内に導入される空気と燃料の質量割合は適切な範囲に保たれ、可燃性が確保される。   In a normal state of the fuel system, the period during which the fuel injection valve 5 is energized is calculated based on the intake air amount measured by the air flow meter (AFM) 20 in S10 and S40 of FIG. Further, in S20, S50, and S60, the fuel pressure and the like are corrected, and the energization period is corrected so that an appropriate amount of fuel is injected. As described above, the mass ratio of air and fuel introduced into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is maintained in an appropriate range, and combustibility is ensured.

一方、本発明において二重故障であると判定された場合には、Ｓ９０において、上記可燃性を考慮せずに、高圧燃料配管２９から燃料を減少させ、燃料圧力を低下させることを優先する。そのため燃料噴射弁５へ通電する期間は、空気流量計（ＡＦＭ）２０によって計測される吸入空気量によらず、予め設定された、通常よりも長い期間とする。   On the other hand, if it is determined in the present invention that there is a double failure, priority is given to reducing the fuel pressure by reducing the fuel from the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 without considering the combustibility in S90. Therefore, the period during which the fuel injection valve 5 is energized is set to a longer period than usual, which is set in advance, regardless of the intake air amount measured by the air flow meter (AFM) 20.

高圧燃料配管２９の燃料圧力が安全弁の開弁圧以上に上昇している時、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の最大吐出量と内燃機関に取り付けられている全ての燃料噴射弁５の最大噴射量は図５の（３）に示すようになっている。つまり、燃料噴射弁５の噴射量が高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出量を上回るため、図６のＴ２以降において高圧燃料配管内の燃料を減少させ、燃料圧力を低下させることができる。   When the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 is higher than the opening pressure of the safety valve, the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 and the maximum injection amounts of all the fuel injection valves 5 attached to the internal combustion engine are shown in FIG. (3). That is, since the injection amount of the fuel injection valve 5 exceeds the discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25, the fuel in the high-pressure fuel pipe can be reduced and the fuel pressure can be reduced after T2 in FIG.

燃料噴射弁５に印加される駆動電流を図１０に示す。駆動パルス幅Ｔｉは制御装置９により演算される。通常、制御装置９に内蔵されている燃料噴射制御装置２７から供給される電流波形は開弁のためのIpeak＿Ａ，開いた弁を保持するためのIhold＿Ａから成る。制御装置９からの指令により燃料噴射制御装置２７から供給する電流波形を変更可能なシステムにおいては、前述のように二重故障により燃料圧力が高くなっている状態においては、開弁，保持電流をIpeak＿Ｂ，Ihold＿Ｂへと増大させ、燃料噴射弁５の開弁，保持力を上昇させ、燃料圧力が高い状態においても確実に燃料を噴射できるようにすることも可能である。   The drive current applied to the fuel injection valve 5 is shown in FIG. The drive pulse width Ti is calculated by the control device 9. Normally, the current waveform supplied from the fuel injection control device 27 built in the control device 9 is composed of Ipeak_A for opening the valve and Ihold_A for holding the opened valve. In a system in which the current waveform supplied from the fuel injection control device 27 can be changed by a command from the control device 9, when the fuel pressure is high due to a double failure as described above, the valve opening and holding current are It is also possible to increase to Ipeak_B and Ihold_B to increase the opening and holding force of the fuel injection valve 5 so that fuel can be reliably injected even in a state where the fuel pressure is high.

燃料噴射弁５の燃料噴射により燃料圧力が低下すると、図５の（ｂ）に示すように高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出効率が上昇して吐出量が増加し、燃料噴射弁５からの噴射量が減少する。このため、特にエンジン回転数が高い領域では、燃料圧力が高い状態で吐出量と噴射量が釣り合い、高圧燃料配管２９内の燃料圧力はほぼ一定となり、燃料を減少させることができなくなる。   When the fuel pressure is reduced by the fuel injection of the fuel injection valve 5, the discharge efficiency of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 is increased and the discharge amount is increased as shown in FIG. 5B, and the injection amount from the fuel injection valve 5 is increased. Decrease. For this reason, particularly in a region where the engine speed is high, the discharge amount and the injection amount are balanced while the fuel pressure is high, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 becomes substantially constant, and the fuel cannot be reduced.

上記現象を回避するため、図８のＳ３０にて二重故障判定が行われた場合、Ｓ２３０において低圧燃料ポンプ２４の運転を停止させる。これは新たな燃料が燃料タンク２３から高圧燃料ポンプ２５へ供給されることを停止することで、高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出量を低下させ、高圧燃料配管内に新たに流れ込む燃料を低減させることを目的としている。結果として、図６の時刻Ｔ３あるいはＴ４の以降も燃料噴射弁５の噴射量が高圧燃料ポンプ２５の吐出量より大きくなり、燃料圧力を低下させることができる。   In order to avoid the above phenomenon, when the double failure determination is made in S30 of FIG. 8, the operation of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 is stopped in S230. This is to stop the supply of new fuel from the fuel tank 23 to the high-pressure fuel pump 25, thereby reducing the discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25 and reducing the amount of fuel newly flowing into the high-pressure fuel pipe. It is aimed. As a result, even after time T3 or T4 in FIG. 6, the injection amount of the fuel injection valve 5 becomes larger than the discharge amount of the high-pressure fuel pump 25, and the fuel pressure can be reduced.

低圧燃料ポンプ２４の運転を停止すると燃料タンクからの燃料供給が急激に遮断される。二重故障後、高圧燃料ポンプ２５がフル吐出状態にある場合、低圧燃料ポンプと高圧燃料ポンプを結ぶ低圧燃料配管２８内部の圧力が急激に低下し、低圧燃料配管２８の変形や破損等が発生する可能性がある。   When the operation of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 is stopped, the fuel supply from the fuel tank is suddenly cut off. When the high-pressure fuel pump 25 is in a full discharge state after a double failure, the pressure inside the low-pressure fuel pipe 28 connecting the low-pressure fuel pump and the high-pressure fuel pump rapidly decreases, and the low-pressure fuel pipe 28 is deformed or damaged. there's a possibility that.

よって図９のＳ２２０において燃料圧力が図６の閾値Ｐ＿ａ未満であることを判定し（図６に示す時刻Ｔ３）、Ｓ２３０において低圧燃料ポンプ２４の運転を停止させるようにすることも考えられる。   Therefore, it can be considered that the fuel pressure is determined to be less than the threshold value P_a in FIG. 6 in S220 of FIG. 9 (time T3 shown in FIG. 6), and the operation of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 is stopped in S230.

図８，図９いずれのフローにおいても、燃料圧力が図６の閾値Ｐ＿ｃまで低下したことをＳ２４０にて判定し、時刻Ｔ５以降は低圧燃料ポンプ２４の運転，停止を順次切り替える。あるいは低圧燃料ポンプ２４の吐出量が可変にできる場合、吐出量を変化させる。これは高圧燃料ポンプ２５が吐出量の制御を行えない状態にあるため、二重故障時の目標燃圧へのフィードバック制御を低圧燃料ポンプ２４にて行うためである。   8 and 9, it is determined in S240 that the fuel pressure has decreased to the threshold value P_c in FIG. 6, and the operation and stop of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 are sequentially switched after time T5. Alternatively, when the discharge amount of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 can be made variable, the discharge amount is changed. This is because the high-pressure fuel pump 25 is in a state where the discharge amount cannot be controlled, so that the low-pressure fuel pump 24 performs feedback control to the target fuel pressure at the time of double failure.

以上、これまでは二重故障が発生した際の、異常昇圧の回避方法について述べてきた。一方、安全弁３０の故障診断を予め実施することで、より迅速に異常昇圧を回避する方法を述べる。まず安全弁３０の故障診断方法については種々の方法が考えられる。例えば制御装置９により演算される高圧燃料配管２９内部の目標燃圧を一時的に安全弁３０の開弁圧力より大きくする。安全弁３０が正常であれば、燃料圧力センサ２６で検出される燃料圧力は目標燃料圧力には到達せず、安全弁３０の開弁圧を示す。一方、安全弁３０の機能が低下している場合、燃料圧力は安全弁３０の開弁圧を超えて目標燃料圧力となる。   So far, the method for avoiding abnormal voltage boost when a double failure occurs has been described. On the other hand, a method for avoiding abnormal pressure increase more quickly by performing failure diagnosis of the safety valve 30 in advance will be described. First, various methods can be considered as a failure diagnosis method for the safety valve 30. For example, the target fuel pressure inside the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 calculated by the control device 9 is temporarily made larger than the valve opening pressure of the safety valve 30. If the safety valve 30 is normal, the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure sensor 26 does not reach the target fuel pressure and indicates the valve opening pressure of the safety valve 30. On the other hand, when the function of the safety valve 30 is lowered, the fuel pressure exceeds the valve opening pressure of the safety valve 30 and becomes the target fuel pressure.

安全弁が故障していることが検知されている場合、低圧燃料ポンプ２４の吐出量を通常より低下させることで、高圧燃料ポンプ２５からの吐出量制御が困難となる故障が発生した場合にも、迅速に高圧燃料配管２９の燃料圧力を低下させることが可能となる。   When it is detected that the safety valve has failed, the discharge amount of the low-pressure fuel pump 24 is lowered from the normal amount, so that it becomes difficult to control the discharge amount from the high-pressure fuel pump 25. The fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel pipe 29 can be quickly reduced.

また、同時に上記閾値Ｐ＿ａを安全弁３０の開弁圧以下に変更することで、迅速に高圧燃料配管２９の燃料圧力を低下させることが可能となる。   At the same time, by changing the threshold value P_a below the valve opening pressure of the safety valve 30, the fuel pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe 29 can be quickly reduced.

以上、本発明の実施形態について詳述したが、本発明は、前記実施形態に限定されるものではない。また、本発明の特徴的な機能を損なわない限り、各構成要素は上記構成に限定されるものではない。   As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.
